My cats are finished

[wiseheart]

All six of them. And I've cut out and glued on certain important background pieces for Pages 5 and 6. I'll still have to stitch them on, but it's nice to see what they'll look like when they are finished.

Other than that we had laundry day, started to rearrange the flat for Monday's carpet cleaning - meaning taking all the china into the kitchen, so that the furniture in the living room can be moved - and I made One-Pot Cauliflower pasta for lunch. Which I messed up beyond recognition (I should have trust the measurements in the recipe), but it still tasted heavenly... if one likes cauliflower, that is. We had salted caramel ice cream for afters, which was a delight.

In the afternoon my friend Ilonka called; we had a long conversation, which was very nice. Having worked in the same school for twenty-some years creates a strong bond; plus her twin daughters were in my class. We are also the same age, with only two or three months between us. I'm glad we've stayed in touch, even after our retirement.

So, what else? It's still very hot here, and the news about the demise of an online friend was quite the shock. This is the problem with internet friendships: without live contact, you learn of such things weeks, if not months later. :(

Oh I hate having to move everything to get the carpets cleaned — great when its done but...

And friends like that, where you have known each other for a long time, are a real treasure.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend.
I’m with you, heat is the worst. It melts brain function and sears energy. If I could, I would live in a world of three seasons only.

I would vote for spring and autumn. Unfortunately, those are the seasons that keep vanishing each year-

You thought I had offed the cats? *g*

The thought did cross my mind.

I hear you re the loss of online friends. So few families think to notify online friends and I think that's so sad. I have more online friends than offline ones nowadays.

Probably because we gain online friends based on shared interests? Hardly any offline acquaintances are interested in the same things as I am.

So sorry to hear of your loss {hugs}

Thanks. It is odd how close we can get to people we never met in person, isn't it?

I'm sorry you lost an online friend.

I just wish we had known each other longer. It was a fairly new connection, due to the friendzy after so many people had migrated over to DW and other places.
